S4 - What to carry it in

S4 - What to carry it in
Posted on: 10.10.2010 by Julissa Serrone
Aside from the case meant for it, how do you guys plan on transporting your S4. I'm looking for a cool looking packpack that it will fit in, withough having to drop major bucks. Was looking at one of the old UDG bags, but I believe it's about an inch too small. Any ideas?

No won't fit. Main compartment is 44.5cm and it needs to be 50cm.

I just received my Gator bag. Build quality is superior and got in for less than 80 bucks from Amazon. Had it shipped to Canada and only cost me around $135 for everything. There are few bags available at Amazon if you are interested. For me its real value for money. Only problem is that you dont have a zipper to close the controller compartment but that's OK.

cheers fellas.

So the Gator Bags are out of stock most places in the UK and the DJTT bags are aswell and I need a bag now!

Anybody know of anywhere in the UK that may have the Gator bag, apart from the usual outlets?

Has anyone tried one of the MONO backpacks (Flyby or Kondensor) with the S4?

I am waiting for the DJTT bag, but the Mono packs seem nice too and have the advantage of being backpacks rather than single shoulder slings...

Picked up an Odyssey Redline Digital XL bag at B&H

Amazing is all can say, and for the price, double amazing. I'm going to try to get a write up and video of all the stuff it can hold, but it definitely holds the S4, with a decksaver and all the other stuff you could ever need to fit in a DJ booth.

And it does have the slide through flap to attach on rolling luggage handles, for the ones asking for that option.

I just got the NI UDG Traktor Trolley yesterday and I have to say, it's super high quality and I my first impression of it is excellent. It comes with a sleeve for the S4, a 15" laptop sleeve and seems to have just the right amount of room.

I'll be travelling with it from SF to Seattle in a few weeks, I'll let everyone know how it travels and whether I have any trouble with carrying it on.

Gator Bag arrived. Perfect for what i need. used it at the weekend for taking my gear to a mates house. S4, Midi-Fighter, 2 x power supply, assorted cables (RCA's USB's etc), Headphones, Portable hard drive all fit with no drama.

There is a compartment for upto 15inch laptop (no good for me as i have a full 17 inches)!! S4 fits in its specific compartment with ease. no stress placed on the sides of the bag and no tugging or pulling to get it in and out. the padded protection on the front and rear walls of the compartment are nice and thick and provice plenty of protection. Nice solid base also which provides protection and also allows this bag to stand upright without tipping over!!

Also picked up one of these sleeves for extra protection. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Traktor-Kontro...item1e64c622b6

The S4once in the sleeve still fits the bag perfectly and is probably unnecessary when travelling to parties etc as the bag provides sufficient padding onits own - i only bought it as im taking my S4 to Ibiza on Sunday and wanted extra protection for the flight - wont be using the sleeve when i transport it about the UK though.

Took some quick snaps:

I sent my magma gig bag 25 back. It says it fits the S4 but it barely does. It's so tight and compact, it was generally poorly made too. I can see now how other people were saying that straps etc were coming apart after a month or 2.

After contemplating which S4 messenger style type bag had a suitable slide on trolley strap to it, I ended up purchasing the Gator bag myself. I guess one major adjustment I will be making soon is sewing on/attaching some form of velcro type sticky strap to the back of the bag so that it can be strapped around my trolley handle.

I have the flight case, I'm gonna modify it so you can extend it all the way, and not worry about it falling off.

Just an update from me... The novation bag i bought was cool at the time (i had spent all my dosh on the s4) but it really hasn't lasted.

I would highly recommend spending a bit of extra money and getting something from UDG or Magma - My other UDG bag i bought 10 years ago which has been all over the world with me is in better condition than the novation bag i bought 6 months ago.

You always get what you pay for eh

I'm not based in US, but am following the discussions about magma's availability in the US. I believe that due to the high interest in their products, what you're saying is changing:

might be wrong of course ...

Thx loop
But already seen these...
I believe Magma in general is very hard to come by in the states
I haven't seen a single online store based in the U.S. carrying these...

Any other options that ppl know of?

Thanks for the tips Lecko

However, these three lack the strap to actually attach your bag to the carry-on sized trolley (see picture below for a sample from Tumi)



Anybody know of any good bags with a slide on strap that can fit the Traktor S4?
Francina Decosse
05.07.2011
wow, they have 2 new bags for the S4.
The backpack seems very nice and can work as a shoulder bag too. The Courier one also seems very good!

There's a new laptop stand too, which is also good and a flight case for Pio's DDJ-*1 monsters.

All good but all seem very expensive imo ... like 25-30% more than what it should be .. idk

I just did a gig in NY and was able to carry my Oddyssy flight case (the smaller of the 2) on no problem with Delta. I had to get a tag for it it the gate on all flights but definitely wasn't worried seeing as though it provides plenty of protection. I was pleasently surprised.
